Class Format memory management
Description Returns number format names from the list of all the formats stored in format memory
beginning at index. The formats are kept in alphanumeric order. The generator maintains
internal variables for the current index and number values. The value of index is
automatically incremented by number after the query is executed. Sending the query with
just an index parameter returns the same number of names as the last time, starting at the
given index. Sending the query with no parameters, returns the next set of names.
